By studying how the circuitry of the brain develops, scientists hope to identify when and for what reasons development goes off track. Brain imaging studies have revealed distinctive variations in growth patterns of brain tissue in youth who show signs of conditions affecting mental health.y studying how the circuitry of the brain develops, scientists hope to identify when and for what reasons development goes off track.
